hard to tell, a little here and a little there. the wiring was a little bit of a pain, because in order for me to get the nice square inside corner, i had to cut and put in another length of wire. with the soffit up, the builder could cut corners literally. then the drywall took a little while to due multiple coats and feather it into the existing ceiling.

thanks for the compliments. i said i would post the updates, and i finally got the primer on so i figured i would do it. makes the room look 10x better and even bigger!

 

Nice improvement, looks great.

Are you planning on adding a valance over the sink and just continuing the crown? It looks like it would be pretty tight if you try to return the crown next to the window. If you add a valance then you could use the larger crown, say 3.5-4" style. The bigger profile stuff looks a million times better than that little stuff, especially with what you have done IMHO.
